here's the contents my "setup.ini" procedure for SIMH VAX:

load -r sys$disk:[.vax]KA655.BIN
set DBGLOG 40
set log q.q
set rq0 ra92
set rq1 ra92
set rq2 ra92
at rq0 x0.dsk
at rq1 x1.dsk
at rq2 x2.dsk
boot cpu

To manipulate the disk image files from the host system, I
installed the LDDRIVER (from the OpenVMS freeware CD) and
created disk files of about 4 million blocks each.  When the
simulator is down, I can mount the LD devices and copy
files around or whatever.  Then dismount and disconnect the
LD devices and go back into the simulator.

I also need to learn how to hook up the DZ ports to telnet
ports so that I can use my regular terminal emulator rather
than just the console.  Anyone set this up already?
